MS Awareness Week
25th April 2022 - 1st May 2022
According to a report published by the MS Society, it is estimated there are over 130,000 people with MS in the UK, and that each year nearly 7,000 people are newly diagnosed. This means around 1 in every 500 people in the UK lives with MS, and each week over 130 people are diagnosed with MS.
For MS Awareness Week this year, 25 April to 1 May, the Chilterns MS Centre asked its members what advice they would give their younger, newly diagnosed, selves. Here are some of their responses.
